The optical disc device is then utilized to form the image on the label film.
Abstract:
An optical fiber system that includes an in-fiber optic component powered by in-fiber light includes an optical fiber having a core, wherein the optical fiber propagates a sensing/signal light and a power light, with the sensing/signal light being propagated in the core. An optical transducing element, such as a layer of light absorbing material, is located in proximity to the in-fiber optic component. An optical tap region is provided in the optical fiber in proximity to the optical transducing element, and enables the power light to leak from the optical fiber and be absorbed by the optical transducing element. The optical transducing element converts the absorbed power light into a second energy form, such as heat, which is used to tune the in-fiber optic component.
Abstract:
A method and structure for fabricating III-V nitride layers on silicon substrates includes a substrate, a transition structure having AlGaN, AlN and GaN layers, and a superlattice structure having AlGaN and GaN layers. In the invention, the large lattice mismatch (17%) between GaN and silicon is solved by using AlN as the first buffer layer with a 5:4 coincidence between AlN(0001) and Si(111) lattice to reduce the lattice mismatch to 1.3%.
Abstract:
A method of forming a desired conductive trace layout on a substrate, comprising the steps of: printing an organometallic compound onto the substrate in the desired conductive trace layout using a printer, the organometallic compound substantially transparent to electromagnetic radiation which is at least in part absorbed by the substrate; heating the substrate near or at an interface area of the organometallic compound and the substrate using the electromagnetic radiation; and, depositing at least part of the conductive trace on the substrate near or at the heated interface area as a result of the heating step.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for molecular analysis. In the method, sidewalls are formed extending through a structure between two structure surfaces, to define an aperture. A layer of material is deposited on the aperture sidewalls and the two structure surfaces. The aperture with the deposited material layer is then configured in a liquid solution with a gradient in a chemical potential, between the two structure surfaces defining the aperture, that is sufficient to cause molecular translocation through the aperture.
Abstract:
The GaN single-crystal substrate 11 in accordance with the present invention has a polished surface subjected to heat treatment for at least 10 minutes at a substrate temperature of at least 1020° C. in a mixed gas atmosphere containing at least an NH3 gas. As a consequence, an atomic rearrangement is effected in the surface of the substrate 11 in which a large number of minute defects are formed by polishing, so as to flatten the surface of the substrate 11. Therefore, the surface of an epitaxial layer 12 formed on the substrate 11 can be made flat.
Abstract:
This invention provides a flexible polymer modified waterproofing cement material which can be used on a substrate or in concealed areas of construction engineering, water conservancy projects, municipal works, and its making process. The waterproofing material is made by kneading a hydraulic cement, a polymer dispersion, a water-soluble polymer or re-dispersible resin and water at a weight ratio of cement/polymer of about 100:15 to about 100:150 under conditions of about 25° C. to about 120° C., about 20 rpm to about 80 rpm until the water content of the kneaded materials reaches about 5% to about 20%. The kneaded material is mixed with a toughening polymer at a weight ratio of about 100:10 to about 100:50, then is calendered into sheets. These materials can adhere to dry or wet substrates firmly. They can be used in cold or hot and wet climate areas. After application, the waterproofing structure formed can bear retractive stress and deformation of the base or can resist outer impact.
